The purpose of listing these songs is not to advocate a particular lifestyle (that's your personal choice), but to acknowledge that a foundation of feelings/emotion is solid ground for humanist values. (If you don't know what affective values are, see Songs of Appraise). The songs are a mix of old and new, musicals, childrens songs, and so on.

And for a bit of light relief, here are some funny songs about emotion.
Fever - The Muppets - Animal & Rita Moreno
The following songs are mostly about affective values, but might contain some lyrics about religion or the supernatural (or could be interpreted that way). So, I've put these songs in a separate section as fair warning, because some atheists hyperventilate at any hint of religion.
Alfie - Cilla Black
Lead With Your Heart - The Tenors
(This is an awesome song, but has poor word choice, linking 'emotion' with 'true').
I'm alive - Celine Dion
Bring Me To Life - Evanescence
Zoom - Fat Larry's Band
Accentuate The Positive - The Andrew Sisters & Bing Crosby
